I Miss You So Much Lyrics

[Verse 1: Chilli]
I never asked for this feeling
I never thought I would fall
I never knew how I felt
'Til the day you were gone
I was lost
I never asked for red roses
I wasn't looking for love
Somehow, I let my emotions take hold
And guess what, all at once
I'm in love

[Chorus]
Oh, I miss you so much
I long for your love
It scares me
'Cause my heart gets so weak
That I can't even breathe
How can you take things so easily?
Baby, why aren't you missing me?

[Verse 2: Chilli]
Why did I act like you mattered?
It was silly of me to believe
That if I just open my heart
Things would come naturally
Jokes on me, yeah
I did not ask for love letters
So why did you give them to me? (To me)
How could I let your intentions get over on me?
So in love, so naive, ooh baby
[Chorus]
Oh, I miss you so much
I long for your love
It scares me
'Cause my heart gets so weak
That I can't even breathe
How can you take things so easily?
Baby, why aren't you missing me?

[Bridge: Chilli]
And oh, how I hate what you have done
Made me fall so deep in love
God knows you're the only one I want
That I love, oh baby

[Chorus]
Oh, I miss you so much (Yeah)
I long for your love
It scares me
'Cause my heart gets so weak (So weak)
That I can't even breathe (Can't even breathe)
How can you take things so easily?
Baby, why aren't you missing me?
Baby, why aren't you missing me? Ooh
Baby, why aren't you miss—, missing me?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Answer

Chilli ended up doing this as a solo song because it’s just too pretty for me. I was too rough and rugged for that at the time, I don’t want to talk about missing nobody! [Laughs.] But she sounded amazing and it was totally up her alley. It really highlighted her as a singer. I would have messed the song up!"

We were signed to [FanMail co-executive producer] Babyface’s label [LaFace Records], so I was always around him. He is such a joy to work with. A lot of people do not know that he is actually a really silly guy. He’s just very quiet and observes everything. But when we would get in the studio, we just laughed the whole time. We were at the end of recording the album and I was sick. I had like a sinus infection and was on all these steroids trying to get my voice back all the way. And I asked Babyface, “Can we do [this song] next weekend?” But we had this deadline to finish the album. And so I was just like nasal spraying it up. It was crazy. I wanted to redo it because I sounded stuffy. But he thought it sounded good and was going to work out well. I just loved being in the studio with him because he helps to bring out things in you that you didn’t even know you had."
